Problem: INK EMPTY MESSAGE

THE P50 USES A CANON BUBBLE-JET PRINTER. IF YOU GET AN "INK EMPTY MESSAGE" THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY CHECK THE FOLLOWING. GO INTO FUNCTION AND HIT LIST. MACHINE WILL PRINT A LIST. WAIT UNTIL MACHINE STOPS. IF PRINT-OUT STAYS IN MACHINE, CHECK THE "o" RING TIRES ON THE LAST FEED ROLL SET. CENTER RINGS ON THE HUBS AND CRAZY GLUE THE SIDES TO SECURE THEM.

THE P50 USES A SIMILAR, BUT NOT EXACT PURGE UNIT AS THE CANON B140 FAX. IT CAN BE WASHED OUT AND RE-USED. CLEANS OUT BEST WITH HOT WATER.
